Flexible pipes are widely used in offshore installations especially in Brazil to produce and export oil and gas. In order to guarantee safety operation in pre-salt fields without super estimate the field corrosiveness many efforts are dedicate to study the actual H2S concentration in the pipe annulus. The data presented in the literature point to a considerably lower H2S concentrations than those predicted based on traditional annulus permeation models. The consequences of these studies have direct impact on flexible pipes design suggesting the possibility to use lighter lower cost with good performance structures. However to specify correctly the armor wires is crucial to evaluate the corrosion resistance on annulus condition especially the stress corrosion cracking. The present study goal is to evaluate the corrosion performance of a range of flexible pipes armor wires considering susceptibility of SCC and HIC on laboratory simulated annulus condition. The laboratory tests were conceived to measure and compare pH H2S and Fe2+ concentration during the whole test period. The H2S flowrate was constant at 4 mL/min. All experiments were carried out at 30 oC 0.1 MPa using a gas mixture with 1% H2S in CO2. It was also controlled the ratio of liquid phase (synthetic seawater) and steel surface area (0.7 mL/cm2). The studied flow rate was 10-6 mL/min/cm2. A blank test without steel wires revealed that pH was stable at 4.9 and the maximal H2S concentration recorded was 20 ppm both after 150 h of test. On test simulating the annulus condition the pH was around 6.1 from 20 h of immersion until the end of the test (2000 h). The H2S concentration was always lower than 1 ppm and the Fe2+ concentration increased with immersion time up to 1200 ppm. Among the three high strength wire grades tested by four point bend test only one was susceptible to SCC under the conditions tested. Further studies will be presented concerning the HIC and microstructure influence on corrosion performance. The aim of this test program is to provide technical data to support future modifications on flexible pipe design with guarantee of good corrosion performance of armor wires.

Austenitic stainless steels have excellent corrosion resistance in various environments so they are used as essential material for several parts such as pipeline pumps and structural steel in many industries. Among them 316L stainless steel has good mechanical properties with high corrosion resistance; therefore it is regarded as the one of the most effective materials in various corrosive filed. However in marine atmospheric environments it could be suffered pitting-type corrosion due to seawater and deposition of airborne sea salts which has high chloride concentration. For this reason corrosion protection in high chloride environments is the major concern in many industries at the same time several corrosion mitigation methods are studied and developed in various fields.Vegetable oils are highlited as new effective organic coating which is a nontoxic nondepletable domestically abundant nonvolatile and biodegradable resource. Polar molecules present in the oils can be absorbed on metal surfaces and form the corresponding metal oxides which will enhance the stability of passivation and promote adhesion. Especially sunflower oil (SunFO) coating is reported as a effective corrosion inhibition organic film for carbon steel. However there is seldom studies for corrosion inhibition effect of the sunFO coating for stainless steel and reinforcement effects of the sunFO coating due to synthesis of other materials. Therefore in this study the sunflower oil is used as base coating and binding materials for 316L stainless steel.Recently the two-dimensional (2D) material is extensively researched for the modification of physical properties such as a mixure materials with polymeric organics because they affect corrosion resistance. Among the 2D meterials MoS2 is spotlighted becaues of semiconducting property between the metal and electrolytes. However many modifications such as CVD water transfer for surface coating with MoS2 are being phased out due to their high cost long time in process low throuput and harmful effects on environments. For many researches were conducted to improve stability and corrosion resistance with a mixture between the MoS2 particles and other organic coating material without the toxicant effects.In this study the reinforcement effect of MoS2 in organic coating on 316L stainless steel was investigated in 3.5 % NaCl solution. The electrochemical properties of organic coating according to MoS2 were evaluated by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) was used to observe the dispersion of MoS2 on the surface and cross section. In addition X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) methods were performed to evaluate corrosion resistance of coating materials.
